    I need a little help on ID'ing 69 4 speed shifter linkage. What do the 1/2 and 3/4 levers look like? I looked them up in my parts book and they seem to have different numbers. the 1/2 is listed as 3950195 and the 3/4 is 3950197. Anyone have a pic of these levers?

    Here is the linkage I have cleaned up and plated 6F245499-5909-45D8-B9F9-721479953DCD.jpeg for my 69. The next picture shows the 69 linkage next to the reproduction 70 up linkage. I was not able to find any numbers on the original pieces.

    I was actually talking about the levers that go on the transmission like these-

    Those rods look like they match my 69 and I believe the 68 rods are also the same. Here is a picture George had labeled as 69 in the one saved post. I dont know if I have the correct ones but will look. 69 GS 4speed shifter rods and trans.JPG

    I think the 2 on the right in the row of 4 may be the ones you are looking for.

    Jason,
    If you go to the thread “69 Motion Equipped Resto” and look at the 10th post, there are pics of the rods and brackets for the shifter rods and back drive.

    The pics of the back drive, ie. reverse lockout pieces, are also on that thread.

    They show the special rod and bracket that are specific for most of the 69 model year.

    I believe this set-up was used for the 69 Buicks & Oldsmobiles.

    Also somewhere later on that thread there are pics that show this linkage installed on the transmission.

    For those of you that have a set, are there any numbers on the levers?
